@ElliesSurviving @torproject personally, the Enshittification only radicalizes me to have even less than zero tolerance for garbarge sites;

I don't have to evidence I'm human!

Websites have to evidence to me they ain't "AI" slop, Cryptojacking, AdFarming, Rage- or Clickbait Disinformation trash full with malware and exploits!

They have to evidence they're worth my time and money (as in compute power & traffic) to even be opened!

And we need to be more intolerant to intolerable garbage like ClownFlare!

The UK Government's Low Value Purchase System is a Waste of Time

It can be hard running a small business.

YES - the concept that new AI models should/need to be independently verified BEFORE release is very important and needs to be seriously addressed.

HOWEVER - these peeps have lost sight of the core reality today - the person they are trying to influence here could give a rat's furry ass about this topic... aka they are trying to influence someone who does NOT give a s_it about this. https://www.axios.com/2026/05/18/trump-ai-steve-bannon-humans-first-letter #AI #AIRegulation #LLMs #Security #Risk #FrontierAI #AISafeguards #WasteofTime #Leadership #AIPolicy

Why would I sign something like this? It's just a rant about our mad emperor. You never even explain what a "personal oversight committee" is.

I'm sorry I clicked through, just a waste of my time.

I will NOT be doing that again.
